THE HEART OF QUEENSLAND MINING

THE 2026 ITERATION OF THE QUEENSLAND MINING AND ENGINEERING EXHIBITION WILL ONCE AGAIN TAKE PLACE IN THE STATE'S MINING EPICENTRE OF MACKAY.

- 

With a legacy spanning more than 30 years, the Queensland Mining and Engineering Exhibition (QME) has grown to become the largest regional mining event in Australia. And after a record-breaking instalment in 2024, when more than 5000 visitors descended on Mackay Showgrounds, QME promises to be bigger than ever in 2026.

Prime Creative Media marketing manager – mining events Rebecca Todesco said QME is expanding to bring in more exhibitors, broader content, and increased initiatives for industry connection, including networking opportunities for delegates.

“We're committed to building on the success of 2024 by engaging with our exhibitors to understand what worked best and where we can enhance the experience,” Todesco told Australian Mining.

“We're also leveraging the insights of our publications' editorial teams to stay ahead of emerging industry trends, ensuring that next year's edition reflects the most relevant and forward-thinking content.
